Read below the steps of
Laser Assisted New
Attachment Procedure.
(LANAP)

FDA Approved: Laser Assisted New Attachment Procedure (LANAP)
Steps in our Patented Procedure

 
A.  Deep pocket measurements, bleeding, pus, swelling and redness indicate gum infection. The epithelium
lining the pocket is a barrier to healing. Without laser intervention, this lining prevents the gums from
reattaching to the root and healing the pocket.

B. Gentle laser light selectively removes diseased tissue lining the pocket and destroys bacteria and toxins.

C. Tartar, plaque and other irritants are removed from the root surface by gentle sound waves and rinsing.

D. Another gentle pass with the laser finishes preparing the pocket for healing to begin! 

E. A quick natural seal around your teeth prevents germs from re-colonizing under your gums. Your
rapid return to oral health begins immediately! Healing of your gums and reattachment to clean root surfaces
result in pocket closure and bone regrowth!

F. Heavy biting forces can rock and loosen your teeth. Careful re-contouring of the biting surfaces of your
teeth reduces traumatic forces on your roots and bone. Many people experience an immediate feeling of
more comfortable biting and chewing.

G. Healing results in, sometimes dramatic, improvements in gum health and over-all body wellness. Because
the infection is eradicated, natural body processes return to normal. The pockets heal and the bone grows back!

This service is so gentle, most people require nothing more than Ibuprofen.
